Shareholders with an address elsewhere will be paid in US dollars except those registered on the South African branch register who will be paid in South African rand.
 
2.  Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend paid to South African shareholders at the rate of 20% unless a shareholder qualifies for exemption.
